Major new Media Festival planned for Manchester
posted May 08, 2008 - 01:19 AM | 0 comments
A new annual media festival will be held in Manchester for the first time this November, the Manchester Evening News reports. The Festival is being organised by Emap Communications, publishers of the television and radio industry news magazine Broadcast.
Peter Bazalgette, head of Big Brother maker Endemol, the media festival's chairman, said: "The Media Festival brings together, for the first time; TV, film, music, gaming and social networking - in fact, everyone who is reconfiguring their business model for the digital age. It's now widely accepted we can all learn from each other - the event promises to be hugely instructive."
The festival advisory board includes some of the biggest names in media, including Danny Cohen, controller of BBC Three; Alex Connock, chief executive of Ten Alps; and Brian Greasley, managing director of Mediacity UK.

Not a lot of MediaCityUK news to report since the ITV bombshell, except perhaps this article from the FT about the positive impact MediaCityUK is likely to have on Salford and the surrounding areas. The article also provides a quick introduction to the local housing market - useful if you're looking at relocating to Salford. Mar 26, 2009 - 11:04 PM
